Ophelia tells Hamlet that she has been sewing in her room and has not been seeing him. This lie is part of her attempt to navigate the complex dynamics of their relationship and the pressures from her father, Polonius, and brother, Laertes, who advise her to distance herself from Hamlet. Her deception reveals the conflict between her loyalty to her family and her feelings for Hamlet.
